- Description
The cartoon shows Prime Minister Sid Holland sawing an old cabinet in two. Above is an image of a smart modern one. Text reads 'A contemporary cabinet in seasoned Holyoake with McAlpine drawers is this week's job for the handyman around the house. Most of the material will come from an old cabinet, though some new pieces will have to be found..' Text in pencil below the cartoon reads 'A man and his hobby'. Refers to Sid Holland's major achievement, turning the newly formed National Party into an effective political organisation. The government also undertook constitutional change in 1950, by abolishing the Legislative Council, the upper house of Parliament, on the grounds that it was ineffectual.
Pencilled note below the cartoon reads 'A take off on a very popular weekly feature in the "Post"'.
